Yep! It's true! And acoustic!
Not only is it true, we already have video from a cameraphone!

I agree that the full band version is needed now, but we really need a proper acoustic version. This version was - lets say it as nice a possible- a bit rough.

Thank you very much for the link. 
That performance is
, though. It may have worked better at the show...but Walk On without the electrical guitar riff? That demands a little more than just playing the basic chords like Edge does...
Credits to the band though, for at least doing something to provide something new - but could you please rehearse just a little more before the show? People are not there to watch you rehearse.

Oh, it could still have been a surprise even if it had been better rehearsed.
We would have got word of it...I think the band just decided Walk On before they came on...i don't think that because it wasn't perfect that the band shortchanged the fans there in anyway...and in all likelihood the next time they play, it will definitely be much better...

I'm so glad they played it!

See, you're already expecting it to pop up again, which means that the element of surprise is already gone 
....so wouldn't it have been better to have a full band version of it in the first place and at the rest of the shows?

That letter is already sent, but he replied that he had no influence in the band whatsoever because a person called guill had told the world that Bono decides everything in U2.

No but it was the surprise tonight...if they do a better acoustic or full band...either way it doesn't really matter to me...i just care that they played it.

Just read this quote from someone who went to the gig last nite...
"On Walk On, Bono forgot the closing lyrics of the song. It took what seemed like an eternity for someone to find the lyrics for him. It was fun to see them try to pull out some old material."

This is just lame. U2 pull out a couple of total surprises and people STILL complain. My goodness.
In any case, those who've reported back from the show say Walk On was great and the atmosphere during the song was wonderful and unifying - I believe one post said it was like in a small club.

Oh, Axver what did you think about the flow from The Fly to With or Without You last night?

Lame and the song order needs to be changed.
But I've been saying that part of the set's weak for months and when/if they change it, I'll be happy. But it seems that when people complain for new U2 material, they often complain when they get it. It happened with I Will Follow, All I Want Is You, Miss Sarajevo, and even seems to now be happening with The First Time (!) and Walk On.

No, as I said, it is great that they pull out new songs - and it may have been a whole other experience at the show than what I could see in that tiny video clip....but I'm baffled at the fact that they weren't better rehearsed. I mean, they didn't even have the emergency lyrics piece of paper ready, when Bono's memory let him down.
